Aren't We All . . .

What do I know about happiness
Do I possess some kind of key
To things that no one else can see

Just as far back as my memory goes
Sometimes it seemed I was alone
Only my point of view and me

As I reflect
Some disconnect
Could be afflicting me
Am I just one
Under the sun
Or am I quite unique

Others speak out very easily
No fear about who may get hurt
By words so hastily dispensed

For some reason I step back away
I hesitate to be so bold as to
Presume some insight gained

As I reflect
Some disconnect
Could be afflicting me
Am I just one
Under the sun
Or am I quite unique

Unique

Explanation. . .

. . . of tariffs . . .

. . . for those that do not understand . . .

(from https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/tariff.asp)

". . . Tariffs are used to restrict imports by increasing the price of goods and services purchased from another country, making them less attractive to domestic consumers. There are two types of tariffs: A specific tariff is levied as a fixed fee based on the type of item, such as a $1,000 tariff on a car. An ad-valorem tariff is levied based on the item's value, such as 10% of the value of the vehicle. . . Governments impose tariffs to raise revenue, protect domestic industries, or exert political leverage over another country. Tariffs often result in unwanted side effects, such as higher consumer prices. Tariffs have a long and contentious history, and the debate over whether they represent good or bad policy rages on to this day. . . "

More Mirrors . . .

. . . and smoke . . .

Can you hear all that I say
Beneath all clever wordplay?
Don’t think that I’m insulting you
That I don’t want your point of view
Working from limited base
So easily losing your place
Why feign a blatant expertise
With no obvious philosophies?

Do you know
What you want
To accomplish here?
Will you go
To the length you say you will
Or is this just all
Smoke and mirrors?

You may just set precedent
with every signal you’ve sent
Why don’t you learn the protocol
To no longer suffer this at all

Say what you mean if you mean it
Do what you feel in your heart
Make it real when you’re speaking your mind

Impressions churning and spray
Like repairs flowing away
Pushing downstream ferociously
Uprooting each obstacle you see

Smoke & Mirrors

Challengers . . .

. . . that you, if you are of the appropriate persuasion, should seriously consider in the forthcoming presidential primaries. . .
Governor of Massachusetts Bill Weld
Former Illinois congressman Joe Walsh, who declared his candidacy on August 25, 2019
Former governor of South Carolina and U.S. representative Mark Sanford
(although two of the three have been involved in their own 'scandals', theirs cannot compare to those perpetrated by the current office holder)

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/enjoy-joe-walsh-s-run-against-trump-2020-nod-he-ncna1047036?cid=referral_taboolafeed)
". . . A recent Monmouth University poll found Trump with just an 84 percent approval rating within the Republican Party, while an AP-NRC poll found the president’s approval to be only 79 president among Republican voters. More broadly, Trump is the only U.S. president whose overall approval has never risen above 50 percent. . . "
